5. LOAN AGREEMENTS
In connection with various notes payable, the related loan agreements, among
other restrictions, limit the amount of additional debt, require working
capital to be maintained at specified amounts, and restrict payment of
dividends. Unrestricted retained earnings available for dividends at
June 30, 1994 were approximately $148.2.
6. ACQUISITIONS
During the second quarter, the Company acquired certain assets of three small
companies for $33.8, net of cash acquired. Also, subsequent to the end of the
quarter, the Company acquired certain assets of another company for $40.0.
All of these acquisitions were accounted for as "purchases". Proforma results
of operations and financial position are not material.
7. CAPITAL STOCK
On May 12, 1994 the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the
Company's 1989 Flexible Stock Plan increasing the number of shares authorized
for issuance under the plan by 1,500,000 shares.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The Company's previously issued financial statements have been restated to
reflect poolings of interests acquisitions completed in 1993. Therefore,
the following discussion and analysis reflects the Company's capital resources
and liquidity and results of operations as restated for these acquisitions.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- - --------------------------------
The Company's employment of debt and equity capital at June 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993 is shown in millions of dollars in the table below.
June 30, December 31,
1994 1993
------------ --------------
Long-term debt outstanding:
Scheduled maturities 118.6 122.3
Revolving credit 77.8 43.5
--------- ---------
Total long-term debt 196.4 165.8
Shareholders' equity 567.1 515.6
Unused committed credit 122.2 116.5
Cash and cash equivalents 8.8 .4
Capital investments to modernize and expand capacity internally were $37.0
million, net of proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment in the
first six months of 1994. In addition, the Company purchased certain assets
of three small businesses during the second quarter for $33.8 million, net
of cash acquired. The increase in total long-term debt at June 30, 1994
primarily reflected borrowings for these acquisitions.
As shown above, revolving credit at mid year was $77.8 million, up from
$43.5 million at the end of 1993. Debt with scheduled maturities was $118.6
million, down from $122.3 million. During this year's second quarter, the
Company increased the total amount of committed credit available under its
bank revolving credit agreements to $200 million, up from $160 million at
the end of 1993. Therefore, unused committed credit at June 30, 1994 was
$122.2 million, up from $116.5 million at year end. In addition, cash and
cash equivalents increased to $8.8 million at June 30, 1994, up from $.4
million at year end.
Working capital at June 30, 1994 was $309.0 million, up from $269.4 million
at the end of 1993. Total current assets increased $71.9 million, due
primarily to increases in trade accounts and notes receivable and inventories.
Total current liabilities increased $32.3 million. These increases primarily
reflected higher sales and production volumes during the first six months of
1994. There was no short-term debt outstanding at mid year or at the end of
1993.
Near the end of July 1994, the Company issued $25 million in unsecured
privately placed debt under its medium term note program. These notes were
issued with average lives of approximately 8 years and fixed interest rates
averaging 7.6%. Proceeds from the notes were used to repay a portion of the
Company's revolving credit.
On July 29, 1994, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
another business for $40 million in cash. The Company's revolving credit was
increased to make this acquisition. All of the acquisitions completed to date
in 1994 fit very well with the Company's continuing emphasis on manufacturing,
marketing and distributing a broad line of components and related products for
the furnishings industry and diversified markets. The Company continues to
have substantial capital resources and flexibility to pursue management's
goal of increasing efficiencies and profitable growth, both internally and
through additional acquisitions.
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
The Company had record earnings and sales in the first six months of 1994.
Earnings were $1.31 per share (up 32%) and sales were $883.4 million
(up 20%) --- both compared with the first six months of 1993. Earnings and
sales were also at record second quarter levels in 1994. Earnings were $.68
per share (up 33%) and sales were $448.8 million (up 21%) --- both compared
with the second quarter of 1993.
Overall business conditions during the first six months and the second quarter
of 1994 reflected further growth in the U.S. economy. While interest rates
continued to rise from 1993 lows, overall availability of credit increased.
Consumer confidence remained well above year earlier levels, and consumer
spending on durable goods, including furniture and bedding, generally
increased. Final demand in the diversified, non-furnishings markets the
Company serves also improved.
The Company's sales growth reflected these general economic conditions, plus a
continuing benefit from acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions accounted for as
purchases, sales increased 9% in the first six months and the second quarter
of 1994. Acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 1993 will not
significantly benefit sales growth during the balance of this year. However,
the four previously mentioned 1994 acquisitions will expand the Company's
current annual sales base by approximately $125 million, an increase of about
7%. In addition, projections indicate 1994 acquisitions to date should
enhance annualized earnings by about $.05 per share.
The Company's growth in earnings in the first six months and the second
quarter continued to exceed sales growth, reflecting favorable year-to-year
comparisons of net profit margins. In the first six months, net profit
margins were 6.1% of sales in 1994 and 5.5% in 1993. The net profit margin
in this year's second quarter was 6.3%, up from 5.6% in the second quarter
of 1993.
The following shows various measures of earnings, as a percentage of sales,
for the first six months and the second quarter in both of the last two years.
It also shows the Company's effective income tax rate for each period.
Six Months Ended Quarter Ended
June 30, June 30,
------------------ ---------------
1994 1993 1994 1993
-------- -------- ------ ------
Gross profit margin 23.0% 22.9% 23.2% 23.0%
Pre-tax profit margin 10.1 9.0 10.4 9.3
Net profit margin 6.1 5.5 6.3 5.6
Effective income tax rate 39.4 38.9 39.5 39.0
As shown above, the Company's 1994 gross profit margins improved slightly
when compared with 1993. This improvement reflected increases in overall
manufacturing efficiencies on higher volume. Much of the improvement in
gross margins came from operations producing products other than components
for bedding, furniture and the automotive industry. Margins on these
components generally continue to reflect some 1993 cost increases for raw
materials that the Company has not passed on in its selling prices.
When compared with the first quarter of 1994, the improvement in this year's
second quarter gross margin reflected further increases in efficiencies and
increased sales of some products with above average margins. During the
second quarter, inflation in the Company's raw material costs in general
moderated. However, as the third quarter began, the price of steel scrap
(a key ingredient in several of the Company's raw materials) was increasing.
If this becomes a continuing trend, it could result in additional inflation
in raw material costs.
The increase in 1994 pre-tax profit margins primarily reflected two other
favorable factors. First, the Company's operating expense ratios improved as
administrative, selling and distribution expenses were kept under tight
control and declined as a percentage of sales. Second, interest expense was
reduced, primarily because of the Company's 1993 refinancing of debt after the
acquisition of Hanes Holding Company this past September.
These favorable factors were partially offset by a somewhat higher effective
income tax rate in 1994. The higher tax rate primarily reflected the increase
in corporate federal income tax rates in the third quarter of 1993.
